I recently purchased this TV to replace a VIZIO plasma that lasted only 15 months long. First, it's very disappointing to learn that most, if not all, flat screens seem to be disposable in less than two years. The price tag on these sets is just too expensive for the life expectancy, this includes my last TV and the new Samsung. I'm not expecting it to last beyond the period mentioned, as I have already read a number of bad reviews on it. However, as flat screen TVs go and for the money, this one seems to look the best in the store. Everywhere I have looked, no other TV on the display wall compares to the clarity.
Unfortunately, I just hung mine last night and have already noted the problem many others are talking about with the backlight bleeding through the corners of the screen. What this looks like is 4 spotlights shining from the corners toward the middle with a luminous range of about 8 to 10 inches. This problem is more noticeable with darker images or when the top and bottom black bars are present. Regardless of lighting though, the problem is always present. The odd thing is the problem did't seem to manifest until about 8 hours of viewing time.
Another noticeable quirk is the illumination changes that occur when the picture changes. Often times it's very noticeable that the slightest change in the picture will cause the set to gradually make adjustments to the luminosity of the entire image. I'm not sure how to explain this better except to say that when something small in the picture should be brighter, the entire picture becomes brighter for a moment and then adjusts down accordingly. The process of brightening or dimming adjustments is a bit too slow or gradual.
Aside from size issues, I would much prefer to go back to the CRT televisions until all the little flaws and quirks related to flat screen technology is perfected. But, as flat screens go, this set does provide the best picture I have seen yet.
I, for one, found the menu system to be easy enough to navigate and the settings reasonably easy to understand and adjust. What I don't like is that it takes up a bit too much real estate on the screen.
As for the audio, I'm using a home theater system, so I haven't taken the opportunity to notice this feature for comments. I will say this, I find it a little annoying that when the TV is switched on or off, it presents an intro and outro theme tune similar to MS Windows. To me it's a little tacky, but a small quirk I can live with.
Another thing worth noting, if you are using a standard coaxial cable, be prepared for a fight to get that sucker attached to the TV. Because of the slim design, all the component connections are almost directly against the surface of the back side of the set. Furthermore, the connections available are very limited.
All in all, this set is reasonable for a flat screen TV with the best picture in it's class. The only thing that is most likely better is the Samsung 8000 series. But note that it too has it's flaws which I have gained information on in researching these TVs.
On the down side, I don't think that it's price tag is all that reasonable, nor do I think that the higher-end 8000 series at a whopping $4000+ is either. Simply, the cost of home entertainment has become just a bit too expensive for the level of quality and life expectancy, or lack thereof.

We were told we wouldn't be happy with LED tv because they look fake. We went and looked at all tvs before buying. The LED was much clear than plasmas or dlp. and made more 3d than lcd. They are more expensive but worth it.

I had the tv for about a week now and i've been tweeking the picture and i think ihave it right for my needs...out of the box the contrast/brightness are very high, which is ok for daytime viewing but at night you can really see the backlight bleeding especially in the corners, you can adjust this using backlight level/contrast/brighness and tv has modes that save this ie: Movie,Natural,Standard...etc so when you're ready to watch a movie at night i have set my movie setting to low backlight and low contrast and you can barely see the backlight. Also sitting position makes a big difference in backlight, if you're sitting directly in front you see a lot less backlight. During daytime you can't see the backlight so its no big deal. Picutre is awsome, very good colors and clarity is amazing, im rewatching all my movies now just to see what i've been missing, 120hz makes a huge difference, makes movies look so real they almost look "fake", wife doesn't like the 120hz effect but i do. I'm running video via denon 2310ci upgrading the signal to HD so i dont have any problems with SD tv which looks good to (depending on channel) and i have a PC connected to it and media center looks amazing on this tv, but i couldn't get highest resolution (1920) to fit correctly on the screen so i had to step it down once. I can't comment on sound because i'm using speakercraft wall speakers. The only thing i hate is that clear plastic around the TV scratches very easily, even using a soft dust static towels. Overall a great TV and it looks beautifull.
Pros:
- Clarity, colors are amazing
- very light tv considering size but you need 2 people to hang it because its so large
- Easy to naviate menus
Cons:
- backlight is annoying needs, adjustment out of the box
- Clear plastic around TV easly scratches using a paper towel or static dust towel, must use microfiber cloth.

I am extremely happy with the Samsung 6000. Very cool look on the wall and wonderful picture. It was easy to hang as well, I made my own suspension system with parts from the local big box home store. I run the audio through a receiver, so I cant comment on the "problem" with the poor sound of the Samsung. There are couple "points of interest" that I have with this set:
#1. At times, the picture is a bit too clear. The motion flow can create a picture that is almost too good at times. This, however, is not a problem, just an observation.
#2. You can see some bright spots in the periphery of the screen when its completely black. It looks as if a few of the LED lights are too bright. Once again, not really a problem, unless you watch a completely black screen all the time.
#3. This set does not auto format the picture to the input of the picture size. This is only a problem if you switch between HD feed and analog feed. I do this frequently, so it is a bit of an issue, having to adjust the picture size constantly.
#4. On certain channels, you will get flickering white bars at the top of the picture. I have not isolated when this happens, however it is associated with #3,,,,,not having the correct size ratio based on the picture feed.
Overall, great bang for buck. Very happy.
